Forty of 81 student athletes came from other states other than Arizona; only 1 athlete from Yavapai County
Yavapai Community College continues to highly recruit outside Arizona for its four athletic teams: baseball, softball, soccer and volleyball. In 2019 there were a total of 81 athletes that made up the rosters. Of that number, 40 were from states outside Arizona. (Data gathered May 2019.)
The Blog could find only one athlete recruited from Yavapai County on the team rosters.
The soccer team led the out-state recruiting effort and reported 15 of its 22 athletes coming from outside Arizona. The softball roster reported that 12 of its 17 athletes were recruited from outside Arizona. The baseball team recruited seven of its 25 athletes from outside Arizona and the Volleyball team has six of its 17 players were recruited from outside Arizona.
There has been criticism that the Community College has not recruited student athletes from the high schools in Yavapai County for its teams. The data appears to support those critics.
